    Module hot dawg 2 stage unit heater?

    Anyone have any experience with these? I was looking at a reznor 105,000 btu or moodine hot dawg and while searching I came across a modine 100,000 btu two stage heater. I can’t really find any info on it not even on their website. Reznor is what I’m probably going to get unless this two stage...

    OSB smooth or rough side out. I like the rough side out.

    I already have to live with my OSB decision lol. Just trying to get the best results possible. I was going to do drywall as a Menards about an hour and a half from me had 14 ft sheets for $14.39 a sheet. But for what I needed it would have been two trips and delivery was a lot and then the...

    OSB smooth or rough side out. I like the rough side out.

    I posted a week ago about attaching osb to walls and I’m ready to start. I have read a bunch on which side to face out and a lot of people say smooth side out. It’s easier to paint ect. But I think the rough side looks better. It seems like the chips aren’t as visible and has a flatter look. I...

    Best way to attach osb?

    Thanks guys. I’ll probably just screw it that way if I need to change something or add an outlet it will be easy to remove.

    Best way to attach osb?

    I bought some Grk 1 -1/2 instead of drywall screws. I’ll see how the first few go and if it’s fast enough I’ll probably screw then but if not I’ll break out the nailer.

    Best way to attach osb?

    I was going to do it vertically then changed my mind. I thought it would be quicker horizontally. Does one way or the other matter? What do you think would look better. I plan on painting. I was going to do drywall because a Menards near me had 14’ sheets but with a basketball hoop and kids...

    Best way to attach osb?

    I have a rotary laser I planned on shooting a line in for the first row. I don’t plan on needing to adjust anything but you never know. I built the barn my self and I know it’s pretty square and level. I also shot in the lines for the concrete but I didn’t do that. So everything should be pretty...

    Best way to attach osb?

    I’m getting ready to put osb up on my walls and was wondering what the fastest way to attach it is. I have my inside girts running horizontal and that’s how I’m going to run the osb. I plan on screwing the first row with 4 or 6 screws so I can take them out and adjust the sheet to get them all...

    You probably need an engineer to figure that out.

    Metal Building on piers.... what to do with the base angle?

    Are you pouring a floor? If so they'll attach to the floor. Usually for a metal building they pour the piers and floor at the same time or the floor shortly after the piers.

    Unable to get my cultured stone to stick...

    I didn't read all the comments to see what was suggested. But first make sure the scratch coat is a little rough. And if using premixed mortar buy a bag of regular type s and mix a little into each batch you mix. It will be stickier. Premix seems to have to much sand. Coat the stone with a...

    Milwaukee 7 1/4" Miter Saw Problems

    It's probably just tight since its new. I'd spray some silicone lube on it and use it. It will loosen up after a while.
